The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 13 Eliminating the Evil

"and many more!"

Liu Xingxing called out inappropriately.

The villagers all looked at her, and "Wang Sanhua" also looked over. Luo Yan was about to give up, but this voice also caught his attention.

But now he was tied up, couldn't see anything, and had no strength left to find out who had called a halt to this pointless ritual.

Looking at this very ordinary girl, Wang Sanhua felt a growing unease: "You look unfamiliar. You don't seem to be from our village. Our village's affairs are none of an outsider's business!"

The people around Liu Xingxing also moved away from her until a space was cleared around her.

"Exactly, why is a stranger here so late!"

"When did this person arrive? How come I didn't know?"

"Who are you?!"

The villagers raised a barrage of questions.

Liu Xingxing calmly crossed her arms and looked at "Wang Sanhua": "Has anyone actually seen the mountain god you're talking about? Did you also see this child offend the mountain god?"

"This……"

"Sister Wang said that she saw this little beggar offend the mountain god, which is why the mountain god sent down divine punishment!"

"Yes! Sister-in-law Wang saw it herself, how could it be fake!"

It seems this puppet holds a high position here; the villagers believe whatever she says.

Liu Xingxing scoffed: "You should all know that there are immortal cultivators in this world, right? They can't become gods even if they try to live or die, so who would believe that a god has emerged in such a small place?"

The villagers also began to waver.

"But……"

"What about those people in our village who died mysteriously?"

"Gods are all compassionate, how could they punish someone just because a child has done something wrong?"

Liu Xingxing continued, "Even if this mountain god really exists, and even if he really punishes someone, it will be the child and his family who are punished. How could he punish you unrelated people? Don't take advantage of the fact that the child is young and doesn't understand things to blame him for everything that happens."

Luo Yan shifted his body and finally saw who had stood up for him.

Looking at that woman who was so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary, Luo Yan stared at her intently, trying to discern something about her.

Unfortunately, Liu Xingxing hid it too well, not revealing the slightest trace of a cultivator's aura. At present, she still looks like an ordinary person.

Seeing that this person had turned the situation around in just a few words, Wang Sanhua couldn't help but suspect that someone had disguised themselves and come in to cause trouble, and she immediately became vigilant.

Looking at Wang Sanhua's expression, Liu Xingxing realized that the evil spirit had guessed something. Her expression shifted slightly, and she released a wisp of spiritual energy from her fingertips.

Wang Sanhua immediately noticed this anomaly and suddenly had a good idea.

The spiritual energy of human cultivators is much easier to absorb than the resentment of ordinary people. It's not like it hasn't eaten human cultivators before; it has killed quite a few of those useless people from the Liuguang Sect. But the spiritual energy of those people is nowhere near as pure as the spiritual energy of the person in front of it.

Wang Sanhua smiled sinisterly, having come up with a plan.

He then said dismissively, "How could an outsider like you know anything about our place? Just because you haven't seen a living deity doesn't mean they don't exist. Only I have seen one and know where the Mountain God is. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see him right away."

Liu Xingxing narrowed her eyes slightly and curled the corners of her mouth into a gentle smile.

The fish is hooked.

It's perfect; if she fights here, she might hurt these people who aren't really worth saving.

Liu Xingxing smiled brightly: "Alright, then what if you don't see that mountain god?"

Wang Sanhua was determined to succeed: "Hmph! How could I not see him? If I'm lying, I'll burn myself up to the heavens to find the Mountain God."

Liu Xingxing smiled but remained silent. "You said it yourself."

Seeing the intense resentment emanating from Luo Yan, Wang Sanhua couldn't bear to leave him like this, and said, "I'll take this kid with me too, so I can take him to atone to the Mountain God!"

How greedy! She still won't let go of this child. Oh well, she can protect him even with one more person.

"Alright, lead the way!"

Luo Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, but her eyes kept glancing back and forth between the two of them.

Wang Sanhua immediately grabbed a torch and, in a rather unfriendly manner, urged Luo Yan to go into the mountain, with Liu Xingxing following behind at a leisurely pace.

The villagers who were left behind whispered among themselves, but none of them made any move to stop them.

Even as the firelight disappeared into the dark forest, Liu Xingxing followed along, seemingly unconcerned. "Wang Sanhua," ahead of them, was still smugly planning how to divide and devour the two people, her steps becoming much lighter.

After walking for a while, "Wang Sanhua" stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched hut in a mountain stream.

He turned to Liu Xingxing and said, "The Mountain God is inside. He doesn't like to be disturbed. If you insist on seeing him, then go in yourself. I don't want to bear the sin of offending the Mountain God."

Liu Xingxing looked at her with an inscrutable expression, then suddenly smiled: "The mountain god lives in such a shabby place?"

Wang Sanhua feigned anger: "Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

"Tsk, it seems..."

Liu Xingxing looked up and stared directly at her, her expression chilling in the firelight: "This is where your true form is hiding."

Wang Sanhua was startled, and the torch in her hand wobbled slightly: "W-what hiding place?"

Liu Xingxing laughed and said, "What do you think, you evil spirit friend~"

Wang Sanhua paused for a moment, then steadily planted the torch in her hand into the ground, casually tossed the child in her arms aside, and her expression gradually turned ferocious.

"Hahahaha! I knew you were a cultivator all along, now that you know my secret..."

As "Wang Sanhua" spoke, a wisp of black smoke emerged from her body and rushed into the thatched hut. Wang Sanhua immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Liu Xingxing darted in front of Luo Yan, removed the rope binding him, and shielded him behind her, her eyes fixed on the commotion inside the thatched hut.

The black mist hovered above the house, its harsh tone laced with arrogance: "Guess why I lured you here even though I knew you were a human cultivator? Hahahaha!"

Liu Xingxing remained calm: "Then why don't you try to guess how you found out about my identity?"

"Insanity!"

The black aura seemed to be angry and attacked Liu Xingxing directly.

Liu Xingxing remained standing still, but the black aura couldn't get even a fraction closer to her.

Liu Xingxing even had time to chat: "Hey, didn't you say before that if you couldn't see the real mountain god, you would burn yourself up to the sky to find him? How about I give you a chance to choose another way to die? After all, my fire... you can't withstand it."

The black energy used all its strength, but it couldn't harm her in the slightest. Now it truly panicked: "Who exactly are you?"

Luo Yan, who was hiding behind, was also very curious. Since this evil ghost could turn into mist, even he could feel that it was not a weak existence. Yet this person in front of him did not take it seriously at all. Just what kind of existence was she?

"Sigh, you 'people' always giving irrelevant answers. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Liu Xingxing turned around, covered the child's eyes with one hand, and said gently to him, "The following scene is not suitable for children to watch."

Luo Yan was taken aback for a moment, but did not resist.

He could kill a single evil spirit without batting an eye, even amidst a scene of countless corpses lying on the ground, but the heat pressing against his eyes made him decide not to make a sound.

Liu Xingxing glanced at the torches swaying in the evil wind beside her, casually recited an incantation, and pointed her finger. The precarious flames suddenly grew wildly and burned towards the black mist.

"what!!!"

A deafening scream pierced the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the world returned to clarity, the thick fog covering the mountains vanished without a trace, and the cool moonlight began to shine down.

The flames on the torches, planted firmly in the ground, swayed gently in the breeze, and the fire did not burn anything around them.

Under the cool moonlight and amidst the warm, flickering firelight, only Liu Jun's almost indifferent and heartless face remained.

Liu Xingxing blinked, ignoring the slight loneliness in her heart, then changed her expression, loosened her hand that was still covering the child's eyes, and smiled, "Alright, the bad guy is taken care of."

Luo Yan stared at her intently, her innocent expression tinged with admiration: "Are you a deity?"

"Huh? I'm not a fairy. Little friend, where do you live? Let me take you home."

Liu Xingxing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. At most, she could only be considered a half-immortal; immortals did not exist in this world.

“They all say I’m a little beggar, that I have no home.”

This person possesses profound cultivation; given the current situation, we can only follow her for now.

Liu Xingxing stared blankly at the pitiful little boy in front of her. Did he mean for her to take him back?

Actually, it's not impossible. With such a large sect like Xuanshan, it doesn't matter whether they raise one more or one less.

Liu Xingxing smiled and asked, "Little friend, do you have a name yet?"

Luo Yan paused for a moment, then asked, "Name?"

This name brought him only pain.

"I am just a beggar, I have no name."

Liu Xingxing scratched her head: "Oh right, then from now on I'll call you... Xiao Qi, how about we share the same surname, Liu?"
